Here at GOOD, there's a common impulse to try to figure out an effective way to help when disaster strikes—whether man-made or natural. So we started with the lowest hanging and most familiar fruit: our favorite crowdfunding platforms. A spin through Kickstarter yielded no return, but Indiegogo has a handful of new, active fundraisers for the area affected by Hurricane Isaac. Many of these pages are directing funds to the local chapters of the American Red Cross and the Salvation Army, both actively working on relief in the area. New Orleans area religious institutions of all stripes are pitching in as well.
